I enjoy the World Cup.

I do not enjoy soccer in general. Maybe casual enjoyment of a premier league game.

The problem is people comparing the biggest event in that sports arsenal and saying “look this is soccer” which is not being honest.

It would be similar to the Super Bowl and then asking people in France (who likely get this game on broadcast) and then saying “this is what all of football looks like”
Its like saying

They could try to be like the NFL and if the guy hits the 1st PK the other team doesn't get a chance.

Unless you're saying driving down the field and scoring a TD is equivalent in difficulty to hitting a PK, which would be a mind-blowingly stupid take.

Dec 19, 2022, 11:24 AM

the great announcers both radio and TV who were able to explain the nuances. Pretty flawed design in the game makes for numerous ties however - not good. But does allow the "little guy" to stay competitive, if that's what people are looking for. It's a game somewhat like American football in that one team can "outplay" the other but yet actually be behind in score, or at least tied. Game needs some design tweaks to allow more scoring.

Interestingly, many American major sports have undergone plenty of design adjustments over the years for various reasons - for instance, basketball, the 3 pt line; football, rules for passing and goalposts moved back. Baseball - not so much though. Still all things the same, I believe.

Team USA was terrible in the World Cup. Clemson FC would be better representation or take ALL STAR ACC team there. They didn't really try to score but if got goal they switched to defense.
